MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
I cannot talk about this book without first mentioning the absolutely BEAU-TI-FUL cover that adorns it! I am not ashamed to say that this book was definitely one that I judged by its cover. Seriously, on the computer this cover looks really pretty and easy on the eye, but it is even better in real life! I may or may not have spent the first five minutes after I this book arrived, stroking and staring at the cover. If you have never done this to a book, then you are just weird!

THE PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE by Samantha Shannon
Although this book is not the biggest I have ever read, I can’t help but feel proud of myself for finishing this gigantic 830 paged beauty! Despite the high ratings and attention this book received, I was not completely sold by its premise before I started reading it. So colour me surprised, when I found myself completely enthralled just a few pages into this book.

CLOUD ATLAS by David Mitchell
In this book, David Mitchell uses six short stories to present different manifestations of power and greed in different time periods. Whilst this premise sounds very exciting and cool, it is not immediately obvious during the first half of the book; and personally, I think this is where David misses the mark.

THE CHAIN by Adrian McKinty
The hype surrounding this book all boils down to a very well written blurb for which I must first congratulate Adrian. It is very captivating and draws you in.
“You are not the first. And you will certainly not be the last.”
However, readers must be prepared for the uphill trudge that is the first half of this book.
